My daughter has a Sprint phone. She kept her regular number, with most carriers, long distance is included free, so it’s not an issue. For the first term, when she had an LG Fusic, she had a hard time getting and keeping a signal in her room in Perkins, but outside was no problem. At Christmas, I bought her a new phone, the Samsung Rant, and it seemed to work a lot better in her room. She still had problems with dropped or missed calls if she was in the hallways, but rarely in her room.

I think I saw somewhere (but can’t confirm, so I may be way off base) that the University has a contract with AT&T which is why they have the better service on campus. I’ve also heard that Verizon has the worst, with many dead spots on campus, but again, I can’t confirm, just repeating what I heard.
